– Relationships between components, standards, protocols
• Content and data flow
• User’s experience of networked information in educational context
JISC Information Environment: objectives
“The aim of the Information Environment is to help provide convenient access to resources for research and learning through the use of resource discovery and resource management tools and the development of better services and practice.”
JISC Draft Strategy 2007-2009
JISC Information Environment: Principles
• Community engagement • Open standards• Modularity of development
Community engagement
Repository interfaces working group
• Increasingly complex repository ecology
• To facilitate interoperability between distributed network of repositories
• More than harvesting metadata..• Data exchange, tracking
provenance, added value services, enabling re-use
• Feeding into ORE initiative
Object Reuse and Exchange (ORE)
• Funded by Mellon for two years beginning October 2006 http://www.openarchives.org/ore/
• Coordinated by Carl Lagoze, Cornell University, and Herbert Van de Sompel, Los Alamos Research Library
• International advisory committee • International working group to develop ORE
specifications• Experimental deployment community• Community to support management and
sustainability of the standards
Common interest in interoperability between repositories
• Ingest (pre-ingest negotiation, smart deposit)
• Re-use of data• Overlay journals• Enhancing search across repositories • Trust and provenance• Preservation and curation
Knowledge Exchange
• SURF – Netherlands• DFG – Germany• DEFF – Denmark• JISC - UK
• Workshops• Forum for information exchange and
consensus building
